Yeah, it's so wanky the way Mallozzi carries that grudge. Brad Wright in the commentaries/special features reiterates how he loved working on the show because it was COLLABORATIVE. Mallozzi in the bonus features to "Morpheus" actually tries to joke about how everything he writes is gold. Only it's false modesty AND evidence of his ACTUAL 'tude.
It really makes me suspect that when Shanks or Tapping or RDA (CJ hardly got any lines, LOL) approached him for dialog changes, he got defensive and douchey, so they might've said "awfuckit we're not running anything by you anymore". Which would bend him out of shape even more.
I will give Mallozzi props for writing some truly beautiful teleplays; he can write well to a deadline. But writing well doesn't entitle anyone to being a Special Princess Douchebag.
